only the church that looks in that direc-
ton has before it the patronage of the
clearest heads and purest hearts. Such
u church has an immeasurable destiny
awaiting it. Such church will say to
the mother that does mot know how to
teach her baby to love God, very well,
teach him his duty to the little bird
in nesting time, and you have be-
gun to adjust his relation to the
Infinite Father" Such church will
make the woman ashamed of the Sacri-
lege that deprives meadow lark of its
life in order that its dead wings may de
file the beauty of her brow. In doing
this it does more toward the religious
life of that woman than if il had Sc
cured her signature TO creed in which
all the holy words are written. The
best revelation of the infinite is loyalty
on the part of the finite. All the sancti-
ties are shut to those who tread the
ways of mrighteousneSS. All the SHIN
ing ones of history shave climbed the
mount of TRANSPORTATION on the road of
morality. The speaker quoted and in
forced the saying of w. G. Gannett:
Ethics thought out is religious thought; {;
ethics felt out is religious feeling;
ethics lived out is religious life"

HUMAN CHARACTER.
Rev. NIilispaugh Touches on Duty
of Preacher and Parent.

A lesson from Moses was made the
theme of the discourse of Rev. F. RI
MillSpaugh at ST. Paul's yesterday
morning. The preacher took for his
text Job iv., Is: Behold, He put no
trust in His servants, and His angels IIeS
charged with folly" There is as greatt
variety of human character as i'll conn
tenance and circumstance. Character
is the result of disposition yielded to or
checked, and the circumstances of life
are the instruments to such an end.
Nan is composed OF reason,
afeeling, passion and will, and,
tdded to these, the composite of all OF
hem,s taste. Each has its separate
Office in the relative duties of man 10
his creator. The disciplined union of
the whole ends in the perfected charac-
ter. Like the wheels of great ma
chine, each part may work separately
towards propelling the body, and yet
the instrument of motion all are useless.
y man may keenly understand Chris
tianity, see each part, appreciate the
beauty of the whole, yet unless the will
belong unto God, gratitude, veneration
and zeal will drop like paralyZed fingers
from the object they strive to grasp.
The aim of mans life was
the consolidation OF Kingdom; that
aim was noble when it was for God
alone. Moses SmOte the rock and the
water flowed out. He was willing for
the moment that the people should be-
lieve that the power was his own. His
punishment was severe. God permitted
him to see the kingdom, but not to enter
it. The character of Moses speaks to
the minister OF God. He studies in the
different wards of the hospital of human
nature the different cases of human
character. Painful is it when minis
ter thinks more of the modulation of his
voice, the finish of his sentences,
than of the solid truth he is
supposed to affirm. Awful is it if to
gain an influence he neglects to men
ton the sin, wherever it is to be found,
among the rich OF poor. So with the
parent. Let him or her always feel that
the direction of the child is to the glory of
God-the teacher in the school, the man
who influences his age in politics, or
literature, or practical surgery. 1t is
difficulty of no small magnitude to dis
cover where the boundary line runs be-
tween legitimate and illegitimate intiu-
ence, but in the story of Moses all have
the text, "Hear, now,'ye rebels, must we
fetch you water out of this rock"
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-05-09

sin into such channels that they may be
overruled for good, and made to further
the ends of the Divine government.
Then as to the sinners miSinterpreting
His fOrbearance, God has vindicated
Himself and provided against such mis-
Interpretation by the cross of Christ.
He sent Christ forth, Paul says, to vim
dicate His forbearaace in passing over
sin. That cross declares the purpose
of Gods forbearance on the one hand,
and shows on the other that the unre-
peptant shall by no means escape. But
the great motive of the divine f0rbear-
ance is Gods love for sinners. God
loves men so profoundly that he will
not let fall upon them the thunderbolts
of his wrath so long as there is the least
hope that they will repent. God is long
suffering toward you, not wishing that
any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance. But it is true i'll
deed that God knows who will and
who Will not repent, and yet he fore
bears with thousands whom he knows
will never accept his mercy. Why does
God forebear with these? Because he
has determined upon some men to dis
play the utmost might of his power and
the utmost deeps of his wrath.
What if God is willing to show his
wrath and to make his power known,
endured with much long-sutlering YES
sells of wrath tted-self-fitted-fO de-
Struction. Just as God has reared up
some towering and conspicuous mOnu-
ments of the fullness of His grace, as in
the case of Saul of TarSus and the peni-
tent thief, so He allows some men to go
on in sin through a long life amidst
great opportunities, heaping sin upon
sin, piling Ossa upon Pelion, refusing
to cut them Off earlier, but allowing
them to pursue their self-chosen course
just in order that they may rear them
selves up into towering monuments of
the might of Gods resistless power and
the utmost fury of His holy wrath. See
from this subject the certainty of future
punishment. God has good reasons
for Withholding his hand for the
present. Your present immunity
from punishment is no indication
that punishment will not come.
See from this subject the wonderful love
of God i'll restraining many of the might
lest forces in His nature that He may
give you space to repent. See from this
subject the purpose of your heightened
days, and why it is that God permits
you still to live.
Repent, turn to God, become adopted
into His family, secure His pardon, and
you will have no need of His fOrbear-
ance, for there will then be no element
i'll Gods nature to plead for your de-
StructiOn.

LIMITS OF RESPONSIBILITY.
No Man Liyeth Unto Himself---M.
ID. shutters Sermon.


Rev. NJ. ID. Shutter spoke at the
Church of the Redeemer last evening
from Romans xiv, 5. No man liveth
unto himself. \ thousand ties make
him one with every other man. What
he does reports itself in his fellows.
The word he speaks to-day comes back
to him from other lips tomorrow. His
deed of good or ill goes multiplying on
forever. His very looks are mirrOred
in the faces that caught his scowl OF
smile, that saw the demon, beast or
angel in his eye. The laws of intlu-
ence, therefore, must be strictly OBJ
served. But are there not some limita-
tons to the law of responsibility? Is
one always and invariably to be guided
by the possible effects of his actions
upon others? Certain tendencies in
human nature may enter in as modify
ing considerations. First is the ten
dency to shift responsibility. Whoever
can lay the charge of his
wrong-doing upon your shoulders
will lay it there. There may be
meaSureleSS gaps between your own
conduct and that for which you are held,
but iniquity is swift reaSoner, and
with leaps of lightning clears the chasm.
Next is the fault-tinding disposition.
Do what you will you cannot please all,
and sooner or later You will grow wise
enough to stop your frantic efforts.
Third is the tendency to judge from
appearances. Men do not stop to i'll
Quire into motives; they see nothing
deeper than the surface. Men and
women are thus often cruelty miSiudged.
Some day we shall learn that we have
to do with realities and not appearances.
Then too DpOnle will never GistiOpuiSn
between things that differ. He who
allows himself that which is genuine
and good in any department does not
thereby sanction that which is base and
vile any more than he who passes good
bill sanctions a counterfeit. After all,
the question what influence we shall
exert is not the first question. Shall we
be capable of eXerting any? Shall we
be fit? These inquiries come first.
Power must come before performance,
being must precede all doing. What we
are will determine how we shall impress
others. The question OF duty stands
before the question of influence. Con-
formity to the ideal of Jesus stands
before it. Fidelity to ones self stands
before it. Many charge of selfshness
is made where it is cruelty false. 4
right regard for ones self is often stig-
matized by the narrow and lmthinking
as SelfiShneSS. a man is dominated by
high purpose; he is striving to make
the most of the powers God las given
him; he purSueS his sOWn methods, he
takes his own cOunSelS. He viii not
f"itter away his time in that which does
not interest him, though it be a serious
business to thousands. He denies the
world tleeting good that he may enrich
it forever.

VICTORY OF THE SPIRIT.
Rev. Gjertsen Discourses on the
Holy Ghost.


At Trinity Norwegian Lutheran
church Rev. Falk Gjertsen preached
from the gospel lesson of the day, John
xvi, 5-15.
The Holy Ghost could not be poured
out over the world before Christ was
gloriied and aScended into heaven. We
know that the work of the Spirit of God
was in the world before Christ; that He
Spirit of Christ, the spirit of adoption,
He could not be sent before the aScen-
sion of Christ. Not in single drops, as
in the old covenant, but i'll full and
mighty streams; not here and there with
this and that individual, not
now and then, but He should
dwell in the world and
build holy spiritual temple, a new
kingdom, heavenly, spiritual and eter-
nal. But that could not take place be-
fore the work of redemption was fin
poured out over a redeemed world.
Christ says: ''He shall glorify me-"
He could not glorify Christ in the world,
for Christ himself was glorified. The
fullneSs of joy and salvation that the
Holy Ghost should distribute through
out the world, must first be acquired.
The finished work of our Lord, the COM
plete and full redemption is
the broad and sure founda-
ton upon which the Spirit
can build the new temple of living
stones, of souls that are saved. The
Spirit only continues the work of Christ.
not be saved without Christ, so you cam
not be saved without the Spirit. And
how does the Spirit conquer the world,
the hearts of men for Christ? He re-
proves them of sin and of righteousness
and of Judgment. OF sin, because they
believe not in Christ. The world does
not know what sin is. Look at the Jews.
When the question was of sin, they
thought of the crimes Of the publicans
and harlots, the breaking OF the let
ter of the law, the offenses against
commandments, concerning fastS,
washing of hands, etc. The Lord him
self was a sinner in their eyes. His
disciples did not fast and did dot wash
their hands before eating. He healed OH
the Sabbath and His disciples plucked
corn in the field, and they went so far
that they rejected the Son of God as a
sinner and condemned and crucified
Him as such. There has been times in
the church, when sin has been under
stood to mean disobedience to the COM
eating of meat during Lent, etc. And
there are in our own country
a great number of apparently
very good people, who conscien-
tiously believe, that sin principally
consists in drinking whisky and swear
ing and using tobacco, and who would
look upon the abolition of these things
as almost identical with the conversion
of the world to Christ. The Holy Ghost
does not commence by repairing these
up the drunkard in the gutter, the har-
lot in the brothel, the murderer in the
prison cell and hold them up to you and
say: "This is sin," but He takes the
best amongst us, the fine moral people,

Why Barker Allowed Local Play

ers to Win Occasionally.
Charles Francis Barker, the checker
champion, left the city last evening for
Fond du Lac, where he will spend three
days. His easy victory over Dr.. TruaX
and the circumstances preceding it have
been amusing the checker fraternity
very considerably. Barker was especi-
ally anxious to meet DR.. TruaX, who
wears the title of champion of the
Northwest. The latter, who conducts a
checker column in a Breckenridge paper,
has been firing off at Barker,
and when TruaX left for Min
neapoliS the paper gave him
quite an editorial send-off. The result
was that Barker won every game,
though he lost a game or two to several
local players, including Dr.. Harding,
w. III. Grimshaw and George Barnes.
The secret of it was that Barker lost
some of these games for the express
purpose of inducing TruaX to come here,
and this was notably the case with
Barnes. The latter is the acknOwl-
edged leader of the local players,
but the chances are that he could

ally, as it was generally understood the
little hippOdrOme was for the purpose of
inducing TruaX to come down, with the
belief that perhaps he might win from
Barker. If he had any such idea he

One Of the smart young men who en-

RELIGION FROM THIS END.
The Universal Verities of Religion
in Common Experience.


Rev. J. S. Jones, of Chicago, preached
at the First Unitarian church on ''Re-
ligion From This End" The sermon
went to prove that the essential and uni
verSal verities of religion were rooted in
the common experience and the near
facts of every day life. This was illus
trated by mathematics drop of water,
q flower, child'S kiss, and above all the
nearest duty. This, the preacher said,
was taking religion from the chief end,
the faith end. Here lies the spiritual
